Hi there,
It seems like your app is not properly handling the
/profileroute on a hard refresh. This is a common issue with SPA sites where the routing is typically handled on the client-side by JavaScript.When you refresh the page, the server tries to resolve the
/profileroute but it can’t find it because it’s actually a client-side route, hence the 404 error.To solve this, you will need to implement a fallback route on your server that will return the
index.htmlfile for all requests that do not match a static file. This allows your JavaScript to load and handle the routing.For the App Platform, you can implement a catch-all route by following the steps here:
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
